Does Warfarin Cause Excessive Facial Hair?

Hi - I am 73 yrs. old. I have a pacemaker and am taking Warfarin and Furosemide daily. I have had two steroid injections in the last 6 mo. for back pain. I have started having a lot of facial hair (what some people call peach fuzz). It is becoming very noticeable. My Dr. says I cannot have lazar treatment because of my pacemaker. Could warfarin cause this to be more than normal? Thanks.

Warfarin is not likely to be related to excessive facial hair. Rather the steroid doses could have some relationship with the excessive facial hair.
